My nosy next-door neighbor claimed to see me leave the house today with a woman in a black car. As soon as she claimed to see me do this, she went to Grandmother's house to share this piece of news, as she does with every piece of news she supposedly hears.

Grandmother's reaction? "Her boyfriend?"

Excuse me while I laugh. HARD.

"No, it was some woman," the neighbor replied.

Of course, everyone else heard about this before I did. Mum came in and told me about it when she got back home, and I laughed. "But I didn't go anywhere today!" I exclaimed, very confused by this point.

I wouldn't be surprised if this neighbor made this entire story up. When someone comes up the driveway, I can hear them, and the only people I heard today were Jeffrey and Mother. Apparently a FedEx truck came at some point too, but I didn't hear it.

So apparently I have a clone. Any tips on how to capture her and make her do my bidding?

In other news, my I Heart Math shirt came in today. The first one got lost in the mail. Strange. So I emailed Woot's service desk and got another one FedExed. Mum handed it to me when she came in, and she saw me open it. When I showed her what it was, she wanted to keep it.

I'm not buying her one on my own. If she gives me fifteen bucks, I may buy her another one. But really? I don't see why she'd want it.

I think what you have there is an evil twin. While normally with pests I'd recommend an exterminator, this kind of thing generally only ends with great awesome. Eventually some of your friends and/or family will show up with the clone thinking it's you, and then you'll have to confront it in an Epic Evil Twin Showdown. I recommend brushing up on your Improvised Weapon skills and choosing some good theme music.
